iexplore.exe - how to remove iexplore.exe process ?

[iexplore error]

Question: iexplore.exe – how to remove iexplore.exe process ?

There was some problem of speed in My Computer, when I was monitoring the Windows Task Manager’s Process List and I found iexplore.exe. Does any one knows about iexplore ? Is it any system process or user process ? I have been using Norton Antivirus and it has not detected it as virus or worm, so is it related to any spy ware? Please tell me how this file iexplore.exe showed up and how can I remove this iexplore.exe process and will it generate any windows error ? Is there any iexplore.exe removal tool or utility available ?

Delete the following registry values

Go to your registry (start-->run-->enter regedit-->press OK)
Browse to
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\ Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon

and delete the value:

"Userinit"="userinit32.exe,"

Find the following keys:

|HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\ Windows\CurrentVersion\Run
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\ Windows\CurrentVersion\RunOnce
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\ Windows\CurrentVersion\Run

and delete the value:

If you're using Windows 9x/Me, click on start, and run. In the Run window, type "Edit c:\windows\system.ini" and press enter. search for: shell=explorer.exe If it is present, and has anything to the right of .exe, delete it. The final line should look like above. click on File, Save, then File, Exit (ALT F S and ALT F X)

Remove the entries in the HOSTS file.

The hosts file is stored under the Windows folder. It Windows XP it's in C:\Windows\System32\Drivers\Etc, in Windows 2000 it is C:\Winnt\System32\Drivers\Etc, and in Windows 9x/Me it's in C:\Windows.

Select everything. Delete all.
Now just enter this one line
"127.0.0.1 localhost" without the quotes.

And save it as the file name "hosts" (no file extention) to the same folder.

Is that all? No it time to ponder

Is it really worth your time and money (you could lose all your money in the bank if your password is compromised) to be worrying about these things?

It is always better to have a software that can protect your computer and you. Spywares are more dangerous than viruses, coz of the simple reason that they steal your information. Your banking account password is much more worthy to them than your computer. And thats what most of them are after.

iexplore.exe is internet explorer. Try closing your browser then you shouldn't see it in tskmanger. It isn't adware, spyware or a virus. And avoid listening to advice that involves removing key system files in the future.

Try this: http://members.rogers.com/rjmac/new_uninstall.exe
It uninstalls the "Lop.com" toolbar that starts a malicious iexplore process... masquerading as a legitimate process makes this one really insidious.

Hey,
it seems your f_ friend there didn't behave correctly with you and is just trying to sell you some anti-spyware software!

I had exactly the some initial problem as you had. But take careful because some spyware processes use iexplore.exe, which is just the executable file for Internet Explorer, to spread worms. The process iexplore.exe allows other processes to connect to internet. I have a worm in my PC and I cannot remove it due to iexplore.exe process.

The file iexplore.exe normally is in C:\Program Files\Internet Explore\iexplore.exe and it's very, very difficult (I tried many different ways) to erase it. Try just for curiosity to remove it, and some strange process, which I couldn't found brings it back again in less than five seconds.

So, it seems we do not own our PC's, cause we erase something and the OS puts it again!!

If anyone has reliable suggestions on how to definitely remove iexplore.exe I would appreciate them.

Thanks

João

Hi All,

I’m just post information about Iexplorer.exe here…

Don’t worry about iexplorer.exe. It is not virus or worm. It is part of Internet Explorer Browser. It is the main program that runs Internet Explorer. iexplorer.exe application allows you to surf internet on your computer. So don’t end this process from your task manager.

NJoy Life !!
